^18 (A)For wickedness burns like a fire;
It consumes briars and thorns;
It even sets the thickets of the forest aflame
And they roll upward in a column of smoke.
¹⁹ By the ^(B)fury of the Lord of hosts the ^(C)land is burned up,
And the ^(D)people are like fuel for the fire;
No ^(E)man spares his brother.

¹⁴ “But I will punish you ^(A)according to the ^[a]results of your deeds,” declares the Lord,
“And I will ^(B)kindle a fire in its forest
That it may devour all its environs.”’”
